For the third year running, here’s a very personal,
very subjective, “I can’t read everything, so I probably left out something, so
mention it in the comments, OK?” list of the best art books of 2012 in no
particular order, along with links to my reviews. To see the list, please come over to Picture This at Big Think.

[Many thanks to all the publishers and museums that
provided me with review copies and other press materials in 2012. You all make
my job so much easier with your kindness, generosity, and professionalism.]
